The practice of defining how your site will look and feel

Theme design (or "theming") is the practice of developing a theme for your Confluence site with Brikit Theme Press.

When you develop a theme, you can make decisions about:

• What colors will be included in your theme and how they will be used;
• What kinds of fonts will be used;
• How plain text, links, and images will be presented;
• Any custom CSS or JavaScript that you may choose to add;
• What types of users will see the Confluence Header, Page Tools Menu, and Sidebar by default; and
• How pages printed from your themed site or space will appear.

You can also make decisions about the appearance, sizing, positioning, and/or styling of the following:

• Space or site banners;
• The Confluence Header;
• The Confluence Page Tools Menu;
• The page canvas;
• A page's header area, including any Theme Press header content;
• Logos;
• The Confluence search box;
• The Simple Toolbar;
• Menus created from architect pages;
• A page's title area, including how page titles appear in layouts that include them;
• Breadcrumbs;
• Page creation and modification date information;
• Content layers;
• Content columns;
• Content blocks;
• Tabs of tabbed blocks;
• Expander block triggers;
• Blocks configured to "spin";
• Page label display and "like" interface, plus the surrounding area that encapsulates both;
• Page comments and their surrounding area; and
• A page's footer area, including footer content and block design.

Theming also allows you to control the look and feel of the following macros:

• Action Button
• Block Link

  Expand

Any of the above can be configured in the Theme Designer by any member of a user group that has been granted permission to access the Theme tab in the Theme Press Control Panel.
